Bottle Rockets

We were young and so alive
Traded Hot Wheels for kissing
Innocence was tripping
Bottled like a cheap red wine
We were all out of control
Always believed in the rock and roll
And I wish that I could touch you just like a lover
But you wouldn’t learn a thing
Everyone’s a bottle rocket
Shoot, shoot, shoot in the sky
1976 We were young and out for kicks
We were million dollar babies
Knieval was a crazy
Bubblicious on your lips
We were all out of control
Always believed in the rock and roll
And I wish that I could touch you just like a lover
But you wouldn’t learn a thing
Everyone’s a bottle rocket
Shoot, shoot, shoot in the sky
Your memories will keep you young inside
And when you die somebody comes alive — lights up the sky
Fourth of July, Fourth of July — baby, don’t you know you’re
A start tonight? Fourth of July, Fourth of July — baby don’t you know
Everyone’s a bottle rocket
Shoot, shoot, shoot in the sky
